Tropicana Hybrid Tea Rose

Tropicana has had a worldwide reputation for excellence for more than 50 years. Its big, shapely, 5" flowers are a flashy blend of coral and orange that add pop and panache wherever they grow. Fully double blooms with 30–35 petals emerge from large, pointed buds on long stems bearing glossy, green leaves. A prolific, strongly scented bloomer that tends to perform better east of the Rockies. Prone to mildew and needs protection if planted in locations where temperatures dip below freezing. An All-America Rose Selections winner in 1963, its year of introduction.
